The Kerala Story’ row: Which states are banning the film, where is it tax-free?

Firstpost  

It’s become quite a regular occurrence in India – politics over a movie. The movie has generated a lot of buzz in the state, with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan calling it a product of the Sangh Parivar’s “lie factory.” He was quoted as saying, “Propaganda films and their otherisation of Muslims should be viewed in the context of various efforts made by the Sangh Parivar to gain an advantage in electoral politics in Kerala. The West Bengal’s order to withdraw the movie read, “To avoid any incident of hatred and violence and to maintain peace in the state, the chief minister has directed an immediate ban on screening of The Kerala Story. Action will be taken against any cinema hall that violates the ban.” Chief Minister Banerjee had earlier alleged that The Kashmir Files was made to humiliate one section of the society whereas The Kerala Story was a distorted movie aimed at defaming the southern state. Uttar Pradesh The northern populous state of Uttar Pradesh has also indicated that it might make the movie tax-free with Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak saying if there is a proposal, the state government will make the film ‘The Kerala Story’ tax-free.
